The Other Guys (2010)

It's been a while since I have gone to the movies with ticket prices being so ridiculous, but I had to get out of the house. I've seen the making of this movie on HBO and it did strike my interest. I went with an open mind and I do have to say that I really enjoyed this movie. Mark Wahlberg (Fear) and Will Ferrel (Old School) made a great comedy team throughout this whole entire film. There were some OK moments in the film but overall the movie was hilarious and that was because of Will Ferrell who redeems himself for his failed attempt at remaking Land Of The Lost. Mark Wahlberg plays a frustrated office detective Terry, who wants nothing but redemption and the chance to be the next great detectives after the deaths of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson (Gameplan) and Samuel L Jackson's 9 (The Negotiator) Characters. The only problem is that his partner Allen is way too happy doing other peoples work instead of putting himself in danger. But Allen has a good case on his hands and Walhberg decides to go along hoping for his redemption. It was great to see Michael Keaton (Batman) back in films as Captain Gene and he was back doing what he did best and thats comedy. The Movie also stars Damon Wayans Jr. (Dance Flick), Rob Riggle (The Hangover), Ray Stevenson (Punisher: Warzone), and Eva Mendes (The Spirit). I give the movie an A-
